4 beautiful Example Of Boyish Hsroibn
shown In school.
Dc Amicis, writing Of his schoolmates,
says that the one who pleased him best
was the largest boy in the class, with .
great head and broad shoulders, named
Garrone.
One morning, before the asrival Of ths
master, three or four boys were torment
ing Crossi. . boy with red hair and use
less arm, which he carried suspended
from his neck. His mother peddled pot
herbs; his father had gone away 70
America.
They were punching him with rulers,
hitting him In the face with chestnut
shells and mimiching him, with his arms
hanging from his neck. Franti, boy with
. repulsive face, sprang upon bench,
and pretending that he was carrying .
basket on each arm, aped Crossi's mother.
Many Of the boys laughed loudly.
Orossi, seizing an ink-stand, hurled It ct
the mimic's head. Franu lodged, and
the inkstand struck the master, who On.
tered ct the moment, full in the breast.
The boys few to their places and b.
came silent. The master, going 70 bis
table, said, In . restrained voice, "Who
did II 2"
No one replied.
Raising his voice, the master cried,
"Who did it,"

on poor Crossi.
Tho master looked ct him, looked ct
the stupefed scholars and said In . quiet
tone: ut was not you. The culprit shall
not be punished" he continued after Q
moments pause. "Let him rise"
Crossi rose and, weeping, said: "They
were striking me and insulting me, and
lost my head and threw It,"
'Sit down." said the master. "Let
those who provoked him RISE"
Four Of the boys rose and hung their
heads.
"You," said the master. shave insulted

SETTING OTHERS STRAIGHT.


The Love Of Notoriety Makes One Ready
With Advice.
One ofthe most tempting. parts to play
in this world is that Of him who sets
other people straight. 1t tappeals to ones
love Of notoriety; to ones sense Of su-
periority; and to ones desire to "do
good" with as little effort and personal
inconvenience as possible.
1t Is such an easy job, this setting Of
others straight. In your own case, your
mental vision may be clouded by self-in-
terest, your moral perceptions confused
by personal inclinations. But, in the
case Of Smith or Jones, there is nothing
to prevent your calm and un.
biased discrimination between right
and wrong. You see at once. without
doubt or hesitation, what your neighbor
ought to do under the circumstances in
which he is placed, and It 10 plain that
your Judgment must be far superior to
his, because Of his individual equation" !"
- the astronomers say.
It 10 such . high and holy responsible
ity, this setting Of others straight. How
can you Justify yourself to your own
conscience II you see . fellow-creature
going astrsy and neglect to warn him-or
pause before you get an act Of the Legis-
lature passed compelling him to 60 the
right way-which 10 yours-if he prove
90 blind and foolish as not to desire to
travel II Of his own accord.
II 10 such . quiet, comfortable, cosy
way Of working out ones own saliva
tion, this setting Of others straight.
All Of us have darling sins, pet
indulgences, weaknesses we are ashamed
Of, but enjoy. How difficult TO sup.
press or conquer these, how delight
ful to atone for them by pointing out the
wickedness Of another TO himf Surely
We may do little wrong ourselves ;
Have we not solemnly adjured many
others to abstain from al naughtinessf Z
This practical mode of adjusting the
moral balance 10 q secret consolation to
more people than some might suppose.
Yet the philosophic mind fairly
trembles with awe at the idea Of what .
sudden, tremendous stride would be
made toward the millennium II every
body would for just twenty-four hours
abandon all idea Of setting anybody else
straight and give his undivided attention
to the recti6cation Of his own tortuous
courses.
